Springfield, MO—Join us for the 2nd Annual Women of Excellence Tea and Lunch fundraiser—an event you won’t want to miss! Mark your calendars for Saturday, June 10, 2023, from 11 am to 1:30 pm at the Drew Lewis Foundation located at The Fairbanks, 1126 N.

This charitable endeavor is dedicated to our youth, bringing women together to empower one another and make a positive impact on our community. We are honored to have esteemed guests at the fundraiser, including Zone 1 Councilwoman Monica Horton, CEO and RN Latasha Harris from Nurse Hustle Recruitment, and Gloria Hereford, the Owner/Founder of Mama G’s Kitchen & Lovely Creations.
The event promises a day filled with inspiration and camaraderie as we focus on shaping the future of young ladies. Additionally, there will be exciting raffles, door prizes, delicious food, and plenty of fun. With last year’s event selling out quickly, be sure to secure your tickets promptly to avoid missing out.
